6x12 with 4x5 ground glass

[Darryl Roberts]

Hi, if I buy a Standard Camera or Intrepid 4x5, what are my options to outline the 6x12 area. I'll use Horseman's roll film holder.

pencil on the ground side works pretty well. Sharpie on the shiny side works very well.

Thank you sir.

I just used masking tape...

Chart Pak tape works well.

A 4x5 piece of card stock with a 6x12 hole in it. Slightly more durable, a piece of thin ABS plastic sheeting with a 6x12 hole cut in it.

Excellent, I will go with this suggestion. Thank you

Thanks for those tips! I'm about to receive my 4x5 and I think the ground glass is black..

Do those cameras come with a focus screen? If not, or if you want a fresnel, you can get something like this:

that's what I'm after, yes!

Ebay has a lot of options if you want to just replace the screen that comes with the camera.
